GOVERNOR GRAY is not the only State
executive who is having trouble trying to get
an unfit Democrat out of office. Governor
Foraker, of Ohio, has similar case on his
hands, as the following correspondence shows:
COLUMBUS. May Is, 1887.
''Hou. Jonathan s. Hare. Upper sandusky. o.:
Dear Sir--I regard it my duty, in view of
what has been said and done by you in con-
nection with the charge against the store
keeper at the Institution for the Education of
the Deaf and Dumb, to request your imme6i-
ate resignation as trustee of that institution.
Very truly yours,
~. B. FORAKER, Governor"
Mr.. Hare, after taking a few days to con-
slider, returned the letter with the following
Endorsement:
UPPER SANDUsKY. o., May %, 1887.
"Dear Governor-An honest Democrat sell
dom dies in Office and never resigns while
under fire. Because of the innuendoes con-
tanned in the above letter l must decline to
comply with your request. Yours. respect
fully, j. s. HARE"
1t is getting so, nowadays, that nothing
short of dynamite will get Democrat out of
Office.

CUSTOM has established a sort of double
observance of Memorial Day-one semi
religious and suitable for Sunday, and the
other partaking more of a secular and military
character As most customs spring from
popular sentiments or convictions does
this one. typifying at once the sacred regard
of all the people for the memory of those who
died for holy cause, and the special remem-
brance of their comrades, the soldiers who
still survive, and who marched, fought and
conquered under the same flag with the dead
heroes. The Sunday observance took place
yesterday. To-day the old soldiers, begin
ming to be veterans indeed, will do their part
in keeping green the memory of their COM
rades. A quarter of a century has passed
since these men, the dead and the living,
marched out together to do battle for prin-
cple. Then they were full of life. full of the
inspiration of a great idea and the future
was all before them. To-day very
large number are sleeping under the
sod, and most of those who survive are con-
siderably beyond the meridian of life or verg-
ing on old age. Yet the principles for which
they fought still live, and the spirit of COM
radeship, as we'll as the spirit of patriotism, is
still strong within them. None but old SOL
diers can appreciate the peculiar feelings with
which, in their camp-fres and reunions, they
live over again the stirring scenes and expert
ences of war times, nor can any other fully
eI,a - he wit xvh he S11r
meet to decorate the graves and honor the
memories of the comrades who have gone be-
fore. 1t is emnently fitting that they should
lead in this solemn and grateful service, but
equally fitting that all others should unite on
this day in a special manner to do honor to
the men, living and dead, who fought and
won the great battle of liberty.

A COMPANY has been organized in Cincin-
natl called 1.-THE American Cooperative
Dramatic Association" for the purpose of re-
generating the stage. The object is laudable
and the undertaking difficult, but the pro-
motors Of the movement can encourage them
selves by the reflection that always the greater
the need of reform the more difficult the work.
The Cincinnati movement claims to embrace
some people of wealth and culture. A pros
pectus which it issues laments the so-called
society plays, with their Frenchy suggestions
on the one hand, and the substitution of mere
buffoonery for both comedy and farce on the
other AS a first step in reform it proposes to
organize a company of experienced comedy,
character and tragedy artists to go upon the
road with repertoire of the plays which have
been approved by the association. There is
need enough of such reform to induce a
wish that it might succeed, but the announce
ment has rather visionary aspect Perhaps
the best way to regenerate the stage is to re-
form the public taste.

A REMARKABLE illustration of how gov
eminent job may be nursed and developed
into unexpected proportions is furnished by
an item in an appropriation bill just passed by
the New York Legislature and vetoed by the
Governor. The item is for printing and bind
ing the fifteenth volume of the Colonial
History" SIS, 500. The history of the job is
best shown by the Governors veto message
from which it appears that work has been in
progress since 1882 and there has been ex-
pended thus far upward of 1912 600, as shown
by the records of the Comptroller's office. The
contract for printing was made in 1851, and
it was evidently expected that the completion
of the work would speedily follow. In that
year it was reported to the Legislature by the
Governor and Secretary of State that if all
the material collected were published it would
probably make tel volumes. but that much of
it ought not to be included. In 1857 j. S.
Headly, Secretary of State. reported to the
Legislature that the work was "poorly COM
piled" "uselessly illustrated "most extrava-
CANT in cost, misleading" loosely man
aged, chat there has Deen expended so lar
$l68, OOO that il will probably cost 5000, 900;
that its entire value is not ST., 900, and could
be better computed by avoirdupois weight
than by any standard of literary value, and
that it seems to have been carried on for the
benefit of the printers and to support the
editor" That the work should have been con-
tinued thirty years longer suggests that the
printers and editor must belong to long
lived family, though perhaps the job has
passed into the hands of generation.

A FEW months ago we noticed the depart
ure from New York and other Eastern cities
of considerable number of persons for Topo-
lobampo. in northern Mexico. They went to
found, or assist in founding, socialistic colo
ny at that place-a sort of cooperative COM
munity in which no person was to work unless
he wanted to- and yet everybody was to live
comfortably. 1t was very beautiful in theory,
all such projects are, including the Anti
poverty Society Of Henry George and DIR.
McGlynn. Why point in northern Mexico
was selected for the experiment in preference
Perhaps it was thought the climate and soil
of Mexico were kindly adapted to the
profession of idleness than those of this coun-
try are, possibly the founders of the colony
expected to draw numerous recruits from the
native Mexicans, who have talent for doing
nothing. But whatever the expectations were
they seem to have been disappointed, for
word comes that the colony is on the verge of
starvation. 1.-THE colonists," says the dis
patch, ''are doing nothing to produce any
thing, ana tnere is no management. MuSh Is
the principal article of diet, and the
people are mainly subsisting by the mon
ey sent them from the United States"
The founders of the colony seem to have neg
lected an important feature. They should
have included a number of capitalists in the
scheme for the non producers to live on.
The socialistic idea of common property i'm
plies something to divide-in other words,
that those who have something shall divide
with those who have nothing. No socialistic
experiment or anti-poverty society can expect
to succeed that does not embrace fair pro-
portion of capitalists. It is not desirable to
have numerical majority of capitalists, or
they might decline to divide. 1t is better to
have a fewer number, with more property to
the individual. Then, as long as the surplus
holds out dividends can be declared regularly,
the non producers will get their share, and all
will go well. If the founders of the Topolo-
bampo colony had been smart enough to get
two or three men like Jay Gould or some of
the Vanderblts to go in on the ground floor,
they might have run a good while before
being reduced to an exclusively mush diet.

A Wonderful Discovery.

W. NJ. Lee, the well-knewn fruit grow
er Of Tacoma, gives the particulars of a
wonderful discovery of bones Of extinct
animals in Washington territory which
attract the attention of students of natu-
raj history and archaeology all over the
world. In a letter TO the Ledger from
Spokane Falls he says:
The face of the whole territory shows
unmistakable evidence of great volcanic
upheavals. On my trip through SPOKANE
county stopped at latah, and in con-
versation with Mr. Copelen of that place
regarding the volcanic formation of that
section he informed me that he had ex-
smined some large bones of great antiq-
uity. Accompanied by Mr. Copelen
went TO the spring where the relics were
dug out. II is located on a low strip Of
springy prairie. The excavation around
the spring IS twelve or fifteen feet deep
and thirty or forty across The bones
were covered by several distinct LAYERS
The fins, layer was ancient peat; then
gravel, then volcanic ashes, then a layer
Of coarse peat From this spring were
taken no less than nine elephants, of diff
ferent sizes, the remains of q cave bear.
hyenas, extinct birds, and sea-turtle.
